Sustainability

Our farmers

The Willig family grew up surrounded by animals on the farm. From an early age, they learned that only the milk from healthy, well-cared-for animals can produce cheese of the highest quality. Animal welfare and biodiversity remain an essential part of the Henri Willig way of cheesemaking. Together with our farmers, we continuously work towards responsible milk production with respect for people, animals, and nature. We are proud of the dedication of our farmers and the excellent care they provide for their animals.

It is unique that we oversee the entire chain, from the land to the customer. This allows us to consistently guarantee the highest quality and ensures that our cheese is produced with respect for people, animals, and nature.

Respect for people, animals and nature

As a cheesemaker, Henri Willig is committed to bringing honest, distinctive, high-quality products to consumers. We also work closely with our customers, employees, and suppliers to conduct business responsibly, with respect for people, animals, and nature.

Our corporate social responsibility programme, Milk & More, focuses on people, animals, and nature. Through this programme, we continuously work to improve animal welfare, strengthen biodiversity, use raw materials and water responsibly, and make better use of residual resources. Every day, we take meaningful steps to reduce our impact on people and the environment.
